This subject introduces students to the foundations of professional helping, with
an emphasis on exploring the role of 'the self' in such work. Using a range of sources,
students will explore the meaning of self and the social processes involved in its
construction. The nature of professional helping is then examined, including an introduction
to the philosophical origins, ethical and value orientations and knowledge base that
underpin professional social welfare practice. Consideration is given to the different
perspectives and theoretical frameworks which shape the understanding and practice
of professional helping. The role of the self in helping practice is then explored,
with an emphasis on the importance in this process of critical awareness and reflection.
Learning Outcomes
- describe the key features of professional helping and their role in the helping process;
- assess different perspectives on the nature of self and relate these to both personal
experience and professional practice;
- apply their knowledge of the nature and role of critical reflection to develop a piece
of critically reflective writing;
- construct a response to a case study that reflects their knowledge of professional
helping and the use of self.
